Links between Liverpool and Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo are intensifying, with Liverpool reportedly interested in signing the Ghanaian winger. Semenyo, who has been in sensational form this season with six goals and three assists in 12 appearances, impressed Bournemouth enough to secure a new five-year contract in the summer.

Despite Semenyo's commitment, his performances have made it challenging for Bournemouth to retain him without a significant financial package. According to reports cited by the Daily Mail and Liverpool Confidential, Bournemouth would demand approximately £75 million for Semenyo should Liverpool or any other clubs attempt to negotiate a transfer. This fee could potentially increase if Semenyo continues his strong performances throughout the season.

Further reports underline that while Bournemouth might accept offers ahead of the new season, the club is currently extremely reluctant to entertain any negotiations in the January transfer window, suggesting that a move is more likely to occur in the following summer transfer window. The club reportedly has a confidential release clause in Semenyo's contract but remains firm on their valuation, particularly given Semenyo's breakout 2024-25 season and promising start to 2025-26.

Semenyo originally joined Bournemouth in January 2023 for a fee of around £10.5 million from Bristol City. Since then, he has established himself as a key player, scoring 22 goals and providing 10 assists across all competitions. His development has attracted interest from top Premier League clubs, including Liverpool, Chelsea, and others in Europe's elite leagues.

Any transfer move, especially by Liverpool, is currently deemed unlikely during the January window but could be accelerated if circumstances demand. Meanwhile, Bournemouth’s sporting director is reportedly considering a further approach to strengthen their squad, reflecting the importance of Semenyo to their plans and the competitive interest in his signature.
